[lbo-talk] Instinct

[Charles Brown]

Do any significant number of humans have heterosexual instinct ? Of course,
a huge portion of human behavior is socially constructed, cultural, not
instinctive. But is all instinct, including especially heterosexual
instinct, obliterated in all members of the human species ? By obliterated I
mean overcome, suppressed, muted, rendered trivial by socially
constructed/socio-historical or cultural or "nurtured" rules and codes ?
"Underneath" all that culture that Butler and others discuss, do any
significant number of humans have  instinctive attraction to the opposite
sex  or is all sexual attraction socially constructed/cultural/symbolic ?
